Cheaper US Lapbanding for self pay!



Recommended Posts

Dr. David Melniczek in Denver does the surgery for $9000 (I think it's 10K, but a 1K discount when cash is paid up front.) He does surgery in Lakewood, Co. The first three months of fills are included in the price of surgery and are $150 or $200 after that. I'm not sure, I haven't paid for one yet.

After care with him is personable. He is pretty easy to contact, I have his email and his cell phone number. He calls me from time to time to check on me.

do you have a hard time finding someone in the US to do your fills if you have lap band in Mexico?

Dr. Steven Tersigini in Coos Bay Oregon has lowered his prices again back to 10,000.00 He was always 10,000 but then the clinic where he did his surgeries raised their price to him, so he went up to 12,500.00

Today I saw his nurse and she said that he is lowering it back to 10,000 so more people can afford lap band surgery.

Hello. I am thinking about having Dr. Tace Curry w/ JourneyLite do my surgery. He is located in Cincinnati, but I understand that there are several other JourneyLite locations. The cost for the procedure is $12999 and that includes everything plus 1 year of fills.

I'd like info on a reasonably priced surgeon in VA. I would travel 3 hours or so to NC or Washington DC if I found a Dr with a good rep for banding at a great price. Any suggestions?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
